I bought a 19 SX150 about a month ago. I've been loving the bike, but have a question for all the 125/150 guys...
I'm coming of a SXF450, vet junior/almost intermediate rider.
When I'm entering corners, I'm having a problem with the rear brake killing my RPMs, causing a bog mid way through the corner. I try to stay off the clutch as much as possible, so try not to use it on corner entry. On my 450, the motor inertia would keep the RPMs going, and also the lower RPMs were not a problem for the 450 to lug out of.
Are the fast 125/150 guys:
1. Using the front brake more than the rear on corner entry, so the RPMs doing get slowed by the rear brake
2. Pulling in the clutch on corner entry, keeping the RPMs up while braking, then slipping the clutch out mid corner
3. Trying to brake almost not at all, and letting the corner scrub off speed
4. Something else I haven't thought off...
